Yeah, I'm pretty sure Clarkie would have some good quotes for Goodenow and friends. It's like when Don Cherry warned Eric Lindros not to mess with Bobby. Don (this was on CBC and I remember it as clear as a bell): "Eric, I have known Bobby Clarke for years and I've always like Bobby Clarke as a player and as an executive. But let me tell you something. There is no man who is more ruthless than Bobby and if he has a grudge, he will bury you and not think twice about. Eric, my words of advice for you is do not bullrush this man because he will give you the horns and not think twice about it. He was ruthless as a player and he's ruthless as an executive. Do not get on this man." How could the owners not go in with someone like Clarke on the negotiating comittee. I'd say that it's time for a change on the comittee and that Lemieux, Gretz, and Clarke all get involved. All former players, all who get along with the NHLPA and all who knows what it will take to get a deal done to fix things.
